Pete Prisco Predictions Bengals Will Edge Ravens, Steelers In AFC North
CBS Sports’s Pete Prisco is full of bold predictions.
Last week on Twitter, I pointed out that after a training camp visit, Prisco thinks that the Cincinnati Bengals would win the AFC North. “This is a big, talented, physical team that won’t back down to the two nasty-boy teams in the division in Pittsburgh and Baltimore,” he wrote in his camp report. “They will win the AFC North — and push for more.”
Wow. That’s some confidence right there. Prisco never said, “if this clicks for Cinci, then they will win the AFC North.” He flat out said the Bengals will win the North.
Is that disrespect towards the Baltimore Ravens? Perhaps, but not as much as this next little diddy.
ESPN’s James Walker recently challenged Prisco on his assertion that the New England Patriots would finish 16-0 this season. “The Patriots will need their “A” game to beat the Ravens in their home stadium,” Walker wrote about the September 23 match up. “This may end up being the toughest game on New England’s schedule.”
Truth be told, it’s the time of year for all reporters to make bold predictions. If one or a couple of them stick, then they can talk about being right after the season. If they don’t, then they get ignored.
But I’m sure Ravens fans are going to hold Prisco accountable for these two bold predictions.
That’s how these fellas earn a living. If you don’t say something that makes headlines running contrary to popular opinion, it dont make headlines.
Here’s a prediction that you can count on being correct… Spy will be arrested for giving out handys behind Captain Harveys while Jim from Dundalk sells tickets like its a carnival ride.
Now I know why you wanted to meet me…………rejected again huh…………
No wonder Spy was afraid to meet you at North Point Mall. You may have tried to take advantage of him or something. I got your back, Spy…..
Thank you very much,,,,,,,,,,,,you can never tell about these guys , you’ve got to watch your back , if you know what I mean…………..
Actually he may be right about the Bengals,,,,,,,,,,they have plenty of talent and a Q-back that will soon be the best in the division………………
Nope…Roger Goodell is about to suspend Marvin Lewis AND last year’s Rookie QB and WR for violating the League’s rules on Practice Time during the Lockout (*)…With the three a them Suspended for the first 8 games this year, NO WAY they win the Division!
(*) How else to explain the chemistry and productivity developed by Dalton and Green in their first year together?
Just maybe they are better than any combination we have,,,,,,,,,,you know Ozzie hasn’t done poor Joe any favors the past four years,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
